Mehuli Ghosh, Anish Bhanwala and Yashaswini Singh (Shooting)
It was a great year for India in shooting at the junior level and since it was extremely difficult to single out one player, we went ahead with three.
Mehuli Ghosh, the first in this list, bagged eight gold medals at the 61st National Shooting Championship Competitions, including four in team events. Earlier, in May, she was the only Indian to participate in the International Junior Shooting Championships and she finished seventh among 123 participants. She also secured a Youth Olympics quota place in December.
Anish Bhanwala clinched a gold and a silver at the ISSF Junior World Championship in the Junior Men's 25 m standard pistol, while breaking a junior World record in the process with a score of 579. Earlier in the year, the boy from Haryana, won a gold and a bronze at an international meet in the Czech Republic.
Yashaswini Singh Deswal also clinched a gold at women's 10m air pistol event at the ISSF Junior World Championship.
